For those of you who follow, are, or have in the past been engaged with artist-run centres or collectives or artist-initiated and organized projects, we are seeking submissions to a book about this milieu; the book will be a kind of profile, snapshot, cross-section with many short texts (3-500 words) by many many people (100+).
In particular we are looking for challenging, imaginative, future-oriented texts. It has always been the case that artist-initiated activities suffer extraordinary pressures (financial, administrative) but we are feeling that we are on the cusp of a kind of sea change in which artists work differently and have different organizational support needs; that is what we hope the book will address.
